It turns out dogs aren’t very good at stuff. Most of these are funnier if you don’t think about how their owners put them in these situations, whereupon they become kind of disturbing. Except the chess one, which just gets funnier the more you think about it. I’m pretty sure that’s the fewest possible moves you can get checkmated in. (Thanks Ross.)

roburky: A lot of those images seem to actually be of dogs succeeding at their chosen task. Although those tasks are stuff like licking out of a jar, drinking from the toilet and sniffing another dog's bottom.

Tom Francis: Fair point, and in many of the others, it's not clear what the Faildog's objective was. However, I'm prepared to claim that Spaghetti Faildog, at least, has failed at something.

There's a great comment on that one, actually, a little way down:

"Staged, sure looks like it, but a non-faildog would have refused to participate."

Sir, I will not sit in your spaghetti pot! Do you take me for some manner of Faildog?
